December Simple Tree Washcloth

The symbols of Christmas are a fun part of the season. Thinking back to decorating trees with my family as a child always brings a smile to my face. To grow this tree all you need is some needles, yarn and a little time. This pattern is a fun, fast project that is sure to bring a smile to your face as you make it, and use it. And you can share the love by giving a knit dishcloth to someone else! Using just knits and purls, watch a tree grow in the center of this washcloth.

NOTE: I like the way a seed stitch border lays and the texture it provides for scrubbing. You could easily replace it with a garter stitch border instead if you prefer. To do so, knit rows 1-3, knit the first three and last three stitches on rows 4-34 and knit rows 35-37

This pattern would also be suitable for a potholder/trivet or displayed as a decorative table or shelf mat.

This pattern has both written and charted instructions for the washcloth.
